Cook for secretary of state by acclamation.

comp troller by acclamatiOn, and Lawrence
j. Fitzgerald received the nomination for
state treasurer. A ballot was undertaken
for attorney general but before 1t was con-
cluded all other names were withdrawn
and Chas Il. Tabor nominated by acclama-
tion. John Bogert was nominated for state
engineer and surveyor by acclamatfon. The
platf' rm was unanimously adopted. It de-
mands that federal taxation be reduced by
not less than SlOO, 90 OUO yearly, with due re-
gard to the interest of capital and labor on
imported raw materials.

ic party is the true friend OF all industrious
immigrants: declares its support of the civil
service laws Of the United States, and the
state of New York and their purpose to up
hold them; favors reduction OF government
expenses; sympathizes with Ireland; fayort

why shoes are Thrown at Weddings.

The custom Of throwing one OF more
old shoes after the bride and groom,
either when they go TO church 10 be mar
ried or when they start on their wedding
Journey. is SO old that the memory of
man stretches not back to its beginning.
Some think il represents an assault, and
is a lingering trace Of the custom among
savage nations Of carrying away the bride
by violence: others think that il rs a relic
Of the ancient law Of exchange on pur-
chaso. and that it formally implied the
surrender by the parents Of all dominion
or authority over their daughter. II has
a Likeness 10 a Jewish custom mentioned
in the Bible, Thus in Deuteronomy we
read that when the brother Of q dead man
refused to marry his widow she asserted
her independence Of him by "loosing his
shoe" Also ia Ruth. when the kinsman
OF Boaz gave up his claim o. the inherit
lance Of Ruth and 10 Ruth also he indi-
Gated his assent by ~plucking off his shoe
and giving it 10 Boaz. II was also the
custom Of the middle ages to place the
husbands shoe on the head Of the nuptial
couch, in token Of his domination

MUNICIPAL DEBTS AND TAXATION.
But notwithstanding this steady reduc-
ton in the percentage of state taxation,
the tax burdens in nearly every county are
irksome. The rapid and enormous in
crease OF property valuations has brought
no corresDonding decrease IN the per-
centages Of tax levied by the municipal
| authorities. In many counties and cities,
indeed, the tax rates have steadily IN
creased. Worse than all, too, the aggre-
| gate Of municipal Indebtedness is rapidly
and enormously swelling, until IL has
reached proportions that should alarm

jay Gould is reported as say
ing, day or SO ago, that there could
be no further stringency in the money
market this year, and that next year
the money market would probably be
easy. Mr.. Gould is presumably the
best authority in the United States in
such matters; that is to say, he is not
only exceedingly we'll informed on
such subjects, but he controls so much
wealth that he can greatly assist in
bringing about such state OF Affairs
as he might believe to be likely to re,
sult-from any cause. But, unfortu-
nately for the public, Mr.. Gould's
utterances are as unreliable as those
OF a public Tor privately prostitute,
1t is therefore best not to place toe
much reliance upon them, and i,
might be- as well for all concerned to
"hedge" a little, because when Mr..
Gould causes any uttersnce of his to
be published it is not unlikely that he
has some sinister design upon the
lambs of the stock market.

The report that comes from
Vienna, to the effect that upward OF
1000 school children were suffering
from the pangs of hunger, some of
them being on the verge of starva-
ton, is calculated to make us more
contented with our lot than ever.
True, times are dull, and we are not
making money as rapidly as we used
to; but we have plenty to eat and
drink, and no one in this country ever
dies of starvation. 1t is possible that,
10 some of our large cities, few may
be suffering; but as soon as any
cases Of restitution are mado known
they are promptly relieved. This
should cause us to be thankful that
we live in country where the nee
essaries of life, at least, are within
the reach OF all.

1t looks as if J. S. Childs had
accepted the SUPPLEMENTARY of the
1dshoan; and, If he has, well-informed
persons will entertain better opinion
OF that mine than they have for some
time past, as Mr.. Childs is too good d
miner, and his services are too much in
demand, to admit Of his taking hold
OF "played-out" property, as it has
been openly alleged that the Idshoan
was. And since he has taken hold, i,
is evident that the mine is not only
DOT worked out, but that he has good
reason to believe that it can be put

PERHAPS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

Contrary to general expectation,
Latrobe, the regular Democratic can
didate, was last Wednesday elected
mayor OF Baltimore, the Democrats
scoring an actual gain Of nearly 1000
over the vote of two years ago. MIR.
I.atrobe was the candidate of the
bosses, and opposed by the best
elements of all parties which, by uniting
against him, endeavored to rebuke
President Cleveland for his open and
undisguised sympathy for the bosses
and ring of plug uglies who have SO
long controlled the politics of the
metropolis of Maryland.
While the election of Mr.. Latrobe
is disaster to Baltimore, it is per-
haps better for the country at large
that the respectable elements of that
city should have failed of electing
their candidate. If they had scored
. success at Baltimore, the people of
the United States or, at least, the
working, producing portion of it
might thereby have been led to be-
lieve that the overthrow of corruption
was comparatively easy, and required
no special effort. But with the result
at Baltimore staring them in the face,
it will be plain to all who desire q
change that they must not only advo-
cate but vote for it, not only vote for
it but urge others to do the same,
and, in fact, to spare no effort to
effect it.
II the election of Mr. Latrobe has
that effect, it will prove to have been
q blessing in disguise.
